Funny Lady
 |
| The funny and smart stand up comic/actress Yvette Wilson who played "Andell" on Moesha was suffering with cervical cancer. Miss Wilson was one of my favorite comics from the 1980's and 1990's because she was funny and very smart with her jokes. She is a shinning example of the mix of fun, talent and intelligence that was the 1990's. While many comics who nobody will remember ripped off Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor to no end, Miss Wilson actually took the time to create fresh and new material. Then when she was a part of the cast of Moesha, she again presented a black woman who was caring and smart with out ever being mistaken for "mammy." Thank God when I was "Moesha's" age I had an intelligent and cool adult in my life I could go to for sound advice. I kind of loss track with Miss Wilson after Moesha, I could catch her on TV here and there. I was very saddened to hear of her passing. She was only 48. |
